I was surfing over on YouTube today and came across a few videos on Food Photography. As it’s a topic that I get asked about fairly regularly I thought that they might be something that people might be interested in. Two are serious - one is firmly tongue in cheek:
There are two more food photography videos below.
You might also like to check out a good book on the topic - Digital Food Photography by Lou Manna which has been getting some good reviews (pictured left). It shares a lot of tricks and tips on getting food looking great in your shots.
It also shares a lot about the business of food photography.
Also you might find our previous post - Introduction to Food Photography - for a basic starting guide to the topic.

I can take a lot better pictures with my Sony Handycam and still camera than all that prep you guys do.
It is not need for all that fancy equipment to take good pictures. All that equipment will not compensate for the lack of common sense. Plus that lady handling the food bare handed, and touching, and touching the food, it really makes it quite unappetizing.
